Frank Cullitan, a 1906 magna cum laude graduate of Cleveland Law School, was one of the founders of John Marshall School of Law in 1916 along with David C. Meck Sr. (1913) and Alfred Benesch. He was in private practice for 25 years before being named Assistant Prosecutor in 1931. The following year, he ran for and was elected to the office of County Prosecutor, where he remained for the next 23 years, bringing to justice some of the county’s most notorious criminals. During his career he prosecuted murderers, bootleggers, racketeers, gunmen of the Murray Hill gang, and embezzlers—and along with Elliot Ness he closed down the Harvard Club, which was one of the largest gambling operations between New York and Chicago in the 1930s.
